348 engine replacement cost

Rebuilding a Ferrari engine is not that bad if you use non Ferrari parts. I.E. Carillo Rods, use CP or JE Pistons, etc. Some items you have to go genuine Ferrari but you can rebuild a Ferrari engine stronger and save a ton of money by using quality aftermarket components.

Brian Crall (Rifledriver) will know much more about this then I do.

If you decide to keep it, let me know, I will lend you a hand. How close to Kingston are you? There its a parts 355 in town, not sure what is good or left though

 

Try to stick with rebuild...making a "franken-ferrari" with another motor means it will be forever yours...or sold at a huge discount.

 

Not so sure about that. True if he used a Chevy big block. Not neccesarily true if he uses a 355 or 360 motor. I would have paid an extra $5k for a 360 motor in my car.

I kind of dislike the "FrankenFerrari" name. It is so loosely used and is often truly describing a car that by performance/durability/etc standards is a better car.......

JMO....

 

What happened to your engine, Craig?

 

Would a Fiero or MR2 motor work? Kind of like a kit-car in reverse?

 

I agree. Every time I see a car for sale that has some story about what's in the engine bay, I lose interest fast. Especially a Ferrari, where the engine is the soul of the car.

As far as I'm concerned, all those Chevy-engined Jags and Porsche 356s running around with 912 engines are basically parts cars.

I don't know this person or any thing about the engine but it looks like this ad is for you...

348 engine $7500 - if its really what he says it is, I'm thinking this ad was put up for you!


Good luck!

 

I would also like to know what has happened to that donk. All depends on what damage is done. Hard to gauge a rough price with out knowing.

 

You are the exception. On older Ferraris it is even a negative to have a different serial number motor than what it came with. I am not debating whether it is right or wrong to attempt "upgrading" with a 355 or 360 motor, it is just a fact, and the market pricing often reflects this.

 

One other option is sell the car to me. I am serious no BS. If you are interested please e-mail me @ [email protected]

Thank you.

 

So, what's it gonna be? You gonna buy my motor, or am I gonna buy your car?

 

Put up or shut up you reckon!!
